Blood Angels Furioso Librarian Dread

Another one from the archives (almost caught, honest)... this one is of the Furiosi Librarian Dreadnought.  A neat model, decent on the table top, but not my favorite.  Simple but effective paint job here.

Death Company Dreadnought video

Here's the video that goes along with the Death Company Dreadnought. I've included the conversion part that shows how I cut up an Assault on Black Reach Dreadnought with extra bits from the Furioso dread kit.

Here's some pics of the new Furioso Dreadnought I did for Miniwargaming.com. I used some Army Painter spray for the base coat then built up the reds with GW blood red and blazing orange. The paints used are below the pictures. I did a video for MWG with commentary that I'll post here once its on youtube.

Death Company Dread conversion

Here's a quick pictorial tutorial about how I combined left over bits from the new Furioso kit with an Assault on Black Reach Dreadnought to make a Death Company Dreadnought. You can use this method to make any of the variants, but I already have a Furioso and I used the new kit to make the Librarian version (pics coming soon).

First off I used the razor saw to cut along the top of the front piece of the AOBR dreadnought.




Next I cut the front off. I could only go so far with the razor saw, then had to go from the bottom. Its a little tricky, but I cleaned things up with the exacto knife after.



Sorry this one is blurry, but here I'm cutting from the bottom trying to align the angles with the other front.



Here's what I'm left with. I had to make sure the little bits on either side were left in place. There's also a bit that goes in the middle at the top that I had to preserve.





Next off I worked on the left shin armour. This had to be carved off and prepared for the replacement one from the Furioso kit.


Here's what it looks like now:








I'll be sure to post pictures of it when I paint it up.

Furioso youtube clips

I've uploaded some youtube clips of the furioso dreadnought I did a little while back. Same pictures as before, but with commentary. I used the Assault on black reach dreadnought arms and the ironclad dreadnought body.

Furioso Dreadnought (Plastic)

Here are some completed shots of my latest accomplishment... the plastic Furioso dreadnought I converted way back (full tutorial can be found here). The readers digest version is that I used the right arm from the iron clad dreadnought.

Anyway, this guy used most of the usual techniques... although I did do some non-metallic gold and I used reaper reds with a GW blood red glaze to get the armour just right. Enjoy.

Plastic Furioso how-to

I've just posted a full how-to article on making a plastic Furioso dreadnought over at miniwargaming.com. I used the Ironclad dreadnought and a bunch of bits from the AoBR dreadnought as well as some extra bits to decorate it a little.

Larger pictures can be found by following the link above.





This is from the Dark Angels upgrade sprue carved into a blood drop.

Plastic Furioso Dread

Here's a conversion I'm working on... a fully platic Furioso Dreadnought. I'll probably be posting a full how-to article on miniwargaming.com, but its pretty obvious what I did. Take the Ironclad dreadnought right close combat arm and put the fist on it from another kit and give it another close combat arm from another kit. In my case I used some Assault on black reach parts to make this happen. I also used the shin pads from the Dark Angels raven wing sprue (modified to look like a blood drop) and the blood angels icon from the drop pod kit. Some other purity seals were also added. Here's what he looks like now:
